Death Valley: Charcoal Kilns

These charcoal kilns seem to be in the middle of nowhere in Wildrose Pass. They were built by Swiss engineers in the the 1870’s to feed the smelters of Modoc Mine about 25 miles away. This was the closest source of wood.

The most difficult part of taking this image was to avoid the row of other photographers trying to take the same image. See below.
